Time always seems to pass quickly when doing things that interest oneself, and before they knew it, the mid-term exams had arrived while they were indulging in the history of the Song Dynasty.
There aren't many courses in the first year, and only some important compulsory courses need to be taken. The exams are finished on Thursday and Friday, and teachers grade papers on Saturday and Sunday. Results come out on Monday, and I have to say that the efficiency is still quite high.
Although it was just a mid-term exam with little reference value, when the results came out, I inadvertently showed off a bit.
University is not like middle school, teachers will post the transcript on the learning wall, only by logging in to the teaching system with their own student ID can they check their scores. With a faint smile, looking at their perfect scores, just about to close the page and hide their achievements, but was quickly snatched away by Zhao Tian's swift hands, surrounded by two others.
Then came a series of shrill screams.
"Allow me to say a word of surprise! You're really too inhuman, aren't you?!" Zhao Tian's breathing was already somewhat unstable from excitement.
Zhou Mei also stared at her in admiration: "Exactly, we can understand if you get high scores, but you actually got a perfect score!!"
"And every subject is full marks!"
"Cough cough, low-key." With a spare hand, she made a fist and cleared her throat, hinting at them to stay calm.
I thought this matter would have been settled with just a stir in the dormitory, but by Tuesday's class, I unexpectedly received attention from the whole class.
Without waiting for her to ask the reason, Class Monitor Liu Hao took the initiative to explain: "That's it, the counselor gave me the transcript and asked me to do a statistics, then... you know, your grades are too eye-catching, everyone just... just knew."
He felt a bit embarrassed, after all, this was university, and grades were personal privacy, he had no right to disclose them, now the whole class knew, and if Xianyu got angry about it, things would be awkward.
Fortunately, she didn't think too much about it during her free time. Her grades weren't bad enough to be seen as inferior, and being stared at and worshiped for having grades that were too good was something she had already gotten used to since her days at the Starry Sky Academy.
"It's nothing much, just knowing is enough."
He waved his hand casually and sat down in his seat, starting to read a book.
These days she has been more and more fascinated by Huaxia's history, couldn't help but borrow books from the library, grasping every opportunity to read.
Liu Hao inadvertently saw what book she was reading and was instantly shocked again. A top student is indeed different from them, getting full marks in exams is one thing, but their hobby is actually reading history books, which makes those who regard watching as a hobby feel ashamed.
Still Professor Sun's class, familiar greeting as usual, no spare time is spared, even if spare time scored full marks, she didn't let her off.
Professor Sun graded the papers himself. He knew how many points were deducted, so he was even more depressed that Xianyu didn't get into the mathematics academy. It's really a pity.
This exam was generally a bit more difficult, although Yui got full marks, but from the fact that she easily solved the gift every time, Yui's math strength is far beyond that. She got full marks because the paper only had full marks, not because she could only get full marks.
Regrettably, Professor Sun could only use more difficult questions to tease Xian Yu, hoping she would be as miserable as him. No mistake, he was that childish.
However, his wish was once again in vain, as Lian Yu had never been stumped by his questions before, and today was no exception.
After finishing class, Xiāngyú bid farewell to Professor Sun with a carefree wave of his hand, leaving Professor Sun standing alone, staring at Xiāngyú's receding back with a look of disdain.
She rushed to the teaching affairs office to submit her minor application, and if it goes quickly, she can get her second major course schedule by Thursday. On Friday, she will go to submit her exemption application, and next week she can start taking her second major courses.
Fortunately, the Academic Affairs Office is accustomed to welcoming many students who choose to transfer majors and pursue a second major after the college entrance examination at the beginning of each freshman year, so they can handle it quickly.
Finally received the schedule of my second major courses, next is to submit the application for course exemption.
With a string of perfect scores in the mid-term exams as her foundation, I believe her application for exemption from listening tests won't be too difficult.
After a string of guaranteed either full marks or zero marks, the idle application for exemption from attendance got stuck with Professor Sun.
Professor Sun stared at the exemption application in his hand, looking at the words "History 2nd major" on it with some disbelief.
He came to his senses and slammed the application for a minor on the table, shouting: "Idle, you said! What's wrong with our math department compared to history? When I asked you to consider transferring to the math academy, you told me that you wanted to dedicate your life to the country's dynamic cause. Why did you choose to minor in history now? Do you look down on us math students?"
She didn't dare to mess with this pot of idle talk, the Academy of Numbers and the Academy of Objects were two of Q University's most famous colleges for geniuses, she couldn't afford to offend them.
"Professor Sun, I've thought it through. To dedicate oneself to the motherland, one must understand the motherland's history. That's why I chose to minor in History. It's all for the sake of better serving the country!"
Idle chatter and nonsense.
"I really believe in your nonsense, stop fooling me!" Professor Sun clearly didn't buy this excuse.
For a moment, she couldn't think of any believable reason and didn't want to deceive the lovely old man, so she told the truth.
"I like history, it's my personal interest and hobby."
Xianyu said this very seriously, to the point where Professor Sun could feel her passion for history.
He still had some discontent: "You like it but can't eat it as rice, why don't you like math? Math is more practical."
It's often said that as people get older, they become more like children. Faced with Professor Sun's childish behavior, all one can do is take a step back.
"Alright, I guarantee that I will get a perfect score in your math class. If not, you can make me fail the course. And if you need help with anything math-related in the future, I'll be there at your beck and call."
Seeing that Xianyu's mind is made up, Professor Sun felt a bit disheartened. Nowadays, kids have their own ideas and won't easily change them. Forcing someone to do something can be counterproductive, just like how a forced melon isn't sweet. Moreover, she has already taken a step back, so let her be.
Professor Sun reluctantly signed the petition for exemption from attendance and then began to rush through his spare time.
"Alright, alright, I've signed it. Remember your promise and get out of here quickly, I don't want to see you again."
With a calm expression, he took down the last application for exemption from listening and left Professor Sun's office.
After walking a long way, she couldn't help but reveal a smile. Great, starting next Monday, she can go to history class.
Huan Yu returned to her dormitory and shared the news with her roommates, who were all delighted for her.
"Alas, there will be fewer opportunities for us to attend classes together in the future." Zhao Tian said with some melancholy.
Xianyu patted her shoulder and comforted: "We're still living in the same dorm, right? And I only skipped part of the class, so we can still attend classes together."
This was also the case, and upon hearing this, several people were no longer sad.
